| 07/08/2026 | COT - ENFC - Code Enforcement - Initial | Passed | 148 pm - From street, there are two light fixtures visible. One is at the rear door (south side of structure) and the second is at the front door. Approached front door and both lights are turned on. The front light does not appear to be in excess of 3500 Kelvin. I checked the listed specs on the light bulb, it is an ACE A80082710KLED4 bulb. Specifications indicate this is a 2700 Kelvin bulb. Knocked on door, and owner of property voluntarily allowed me to search the property to obtain the specs of the light bulb on the rear door. The light bulb on the rear door has a listed spec of 5000 Kelvin. Owner on site replaced it with a 2700 Kelvin compact fluorescent light bulb. Violation is abated, close case. -VM |
